It collaborates with fleet management companies to deploy real-world autonomous solutions, aiming to lead the industry in autonomous trucking.

📋 Description

• Own the design and organization of the program’s data lake, including schema definitions, partitioning strategy and metadata indexing. • Design and maintain end-to-end pipelines that ingest high-bandwidth sensor logs from vehicles into cloud storage with high reliability and tolerant of ad-hoc and intermittent connectivity mechanisms. • Develop data validation and integrity checks that can detect corrupted information, missing sensors, and inconsistent calibration prior to the data being processed by downstream systems. • Implement retention, tiering and lifecycle policies for data to balance storage costs with development value. • Build tooling to query raw logs to produce curated training and evaluation datasets. • Build automation to run cost-effective pseudo-labeling workflows at the scale of data ingest. • Implement data quality and model performance metrics that are used to direct labeling effort toward the highest-value examples. • Deploy and maintain data visualization tooling to support log review, annotation QA, and autonomy debugging workflows. • Build integrations between the visualization tooling and the data lake so engineers can navigate from a dataset entry or model failure directly to the origin log data • Work with autonomy engineers to define and surface custom visualization panels and implement metrics for analyzing unstructured operating environments. • Build dashboards that provide the autonomy engineers visibility into data coverage by terrain type, operating environment and geographic region. • Establish and document data contracts between the data services and model training consumers. • Partner with perception, planning and embedded engineers across the data lifecycle: from shaping the logging schemas and collection triggers to defining the dataset interfaces that supply model training and evaluation. • Define data engineering standards, best practices, and tooling choices for an innovative and fast-paced team. • Contribute to the data roadmap and provide input to technical leadership on investment priorities. • Mentor junior engineers and raise the team’s capabilities in data infrastructure scalability and operational hygiene.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field with 6+ years of data engineering experience or a Master’s with 4+ years. • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with demonstrated ability to build production-quality data pipelines • Deep experience with cloud data infrastructure (AWS preferred: S3, Glue Athena, redshift, or equivalent) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Cloud Formation). • Solid understanding of data partitioning strategies and columnar storage formats (Parquet, Orc, etc.) • Experience building and operating data pipelines that process time-series and binary data. • Proven ability to evaluate and integrate open-source tooling when appropriate versus building from scratch. • Strong instincts for delivering data quality through first-class implementations of monitoring, validation and lineage tracking.

🏖️ Benefits

• A competitive compensation package that includes a bonus component and stock options • 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees • 401K plan with a 6% employer match • Flexibility in schedule and generous paid vacation (available immediately after start date) • Company-wide holiday office closures • AD+D and Life Insurance
